Self Portraits

Tonight I resumed drawing practice with a self portrait:

I'm pretty happy with how this one came out. Last time I did one of these I really didn't recognize myself, but this one I think really does look like me. 

I've been very concerned, for a while, about facial expression, so I deliberately selected a reference photo where I was sort of smirking. Turns out the lopsided smiling is part of how I recognize myself. LMAO.

I hope you are all doing great! Thanks for looking at my pictures.
